Is it true that you cant put this on your rings unless your the enchanter!?

i mean, sorta like the BOP blacksmith/tailoring recipe's?

Comment by alizia

Only the enchanter's rings can be enchanted, and enchanting a ring will cause it to become soulbound. Requires a level 35 or higher item.

And all ring enchants are like this one.

Comment by Tadhg

1) All ring enchantments make "Bind when Equipped" rings Soulbound.2) All ring enchantments are enchanters only. You can't sell ring enchantments in any form (Formulas are "Bind on Pickup", Rings become soul bounded, and can not be traded within the trade screen.3) Requires a level 35 (or higher) Ring.

Comment by Tadhg

Forgot to mention this above:This ring enchantment is currently unavaible for purchase under normal circumstances. (2/26/2007)

Reason:Presumably, The Scale of the Sands deals with Mount Hyjal and the battle that takes place there. Mount Hyjal is a part of Caverns of Time but has not been released yet to live servers. There are a few quests that'll earn you reputation with this faction, but it's few and far between - no where close to the required points for Revered (which this formula requires). NPCs and Bosses inside Karazhan give reputation points towards The Violet Eye, not The Scale of the Sands.

This enchant really doesnt add up when you compare the mats and work to the benefit. I can see maybe a druid enchanter benefiting if they are feral... but the lower level +spell/heal/attackpower ect are cheap to enchant and give much more in my opinion.

Comment by dukbtr

As far as the mats being to expensive. If your guild is to the point that an Enchanter can get this formula, the guild should, I hope, have Karazhan on farm status and you could pick up the items to D/E very easily.

Comment by Zuldawg

Take note too, although the mats may be expensive and the enchant not that great, many can still benefit fromt his due to the fact it looks like by the description it can be placed on other non-enchanters rings as well, unlike +2 weapon damage, so manay non-enchanters will benefit from it, and the previous statement above as well.

Comment by Noura

So that would be the only ring enchant non enchanters can have ?? I don't think so, but well the huge mats may be the reason then

Comment by Naza

awesum. I choose this over +2 weapon dmg as a combat rogue (:

Comment by Yamilonewolf

My question is for a feral- how does this compare to the 2 weapon damage for rings?

Comment by Shuror

+2 weapon damage is better for cat DPS, +4 all stats is better for tanking. The stats enchant might get superior when your gear level gets very good, though.

Comment by altk1ll3r

Is it better for a mage this enchant that +12spelldmg??? +4stats gives you more mana and more crit, but i dont know. can someone help me plz

"Requires Lower City - Honored"

This is incorrect, I just went to buy it and I need Scale of The Sands Revered.

Comment by bithalver

Have you realized, that this spell is buyable now for Lower City and not Scale of Sands reputation ?A BIG hurray !

Comment by Arlique

with patch 2.3 the recipe has been MOVED to Lower City quartermaster Nakodu. Requires Honored.

Comment by Darksteel17

How would you say this compares to the for PvP?It would seem that +4 agi, +4 str, and +4 stam would top +2 wep damage.Also I'm a rogue with a 2.6 MH, 1.5 OH (The S1 Pity Epics) So you can use those weapon speeds to help calculate your decision.

Thanks.

Comment by Mythical

As a rogue, I'd take the +2 weapon damage over this, any time. 4spi, 4int - wasted, 4str - half wasted.So this only increases two stats that you really need. Warriors might benefit from this more than from +2dmg, since their weapons are slower, and they don't dual wield (except fury). For hunters, shamans (enhancement) this is probably better than +2 weapon damage. Since they fully use the stats they get from it. For healers and casters, I'd suggest the +healing and +spelldmg over this one.

Comment by Sinemon

The 8 AP (for a rogue) translates into ~.57 DPS. For a main hand weapon with a 2.6 sped, that would actually be ~1.4 damage per hit more. While this is still a hair less than 2, it also applies to rupture and eviscerate, so the damage difference between 2 weapon damage and 4 stats isn't as large as it may seem. While 2 damage probably gives a hair more damage, 4 stats is very close and provides 40 hp.

Comment by powers

If you're an enchanter and you've enchanted two rings with this +4 stats enchant, then decide to drop enchanting for another profession, will you lose the ability to use the ring at all? Or will you just not get the +4 stats benefit but still get the benefit of the actual ring stats, etc.?

Thanks

Comment by Pharod

You will not lose the enchant on the ring.

WOTLK Beta:

Yellow @ 385Green @ 400

Cheapest / easiest way to 400 enchanting if you have enough voids saved up.

Comment by grassynole

This is a mistake the Vendor in Shattrath sels the formula for 17g Not 20

Comment by Yukazi

Comment by Grasped

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get the reputation you need with Lower City to buy this formula at level 60? Also, is there another way to get rep with Lower City than doing the Auchindoun instances? Thanks in advance :)

Comment by Vindaloo

You WILL LOSE the enchant on the ring if you drop enchanting. It goes red and says "enchanting 350 requied". idk what patch this was applied but today I found out the expensive way :P

Comment by cUnAzeroth

Bought this enchanting formula today. My ALT's prof is enchanting. I am exalted with Lower City Faction. When I try to learn this I see a screen message "The spell is not available to you." Why am I getting this message? Why can I buy this but not learn this? (I have met or exceeded all the requirements and yes my enchanting skill is over 375.) Is this something that Blizz should have removed in the new update?

Update: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM. (although this is still for sale) I just got a note from a Blizz GM that this ring enchant should have been removed with the release of Draenor. I did get a full refund and the item was removed from my bag. GM said that they will be removing it from the game in future patch.
